Late at night, on the Shenxiu River, a green figure covered in blood stepped on the river and ran quickly under the cover of night.
Like a night bat, he arrived in front of a large painting boat in the center of the river, and then he pulled himself up from the air and silently fell into a room on the third floor of the boat.
There were only two candles lit in the room, and the light of the fire swayed in the river breeze.
What appeared under the candlelight was a handsome and delicate face, but without any color.
That was none other than the 'Blood Wind Sword' Li Daogui. The red crown on his head was gone, and his black hair was draped messily behind his back.
There were also more than a dozen holes in the cyan disciple's uniform, and the clothes were stained with blood.
Li Daogui stepped into the boat and took off his upper body clothes. While treating his injuries, he asked another person in the room.
"What's the situation? How many people escaped?"
"Except for the sword master, there were only six people who escaped."
The person who answered was a young man in red with an eagle nose and deep eyes, and a cold temperament. He sat on the other side of the square table, with a pale face and a depressed expression: "No one below the seventh grade survived, and two people at the seventh grade died.
."
Li Daogui was pouring medicine on the stab wound on his chest. When he heard the word "six people", he smashed the medicine bottle in his hand into pieces with a bang.
"Cao Xuan!"
Li Daogui gritted his teeth, his cheeks were slightly bulging, and his eyes were cold: "This person has a deep calculation. We worked hard and worked hard for clues about the Ni Shen Banner, but in the end we got an advantage from him. But the culprit is still the bastard who killed the magician.
,can we find this person’s identity?”
"My subordinates have already inquired. This person's name is Chu Xisheng. He is a newly promoted inner sect of Zhengyang Martial Arts School. He is good at sharp knives."
A cold and stern look appeared on the face of the blood-clothed young man: "As long as the Jin Yiwei's pursuit stops for a moment, I will bring his head to the sword master——"
Before he finished speaking, another figure slipped in outside the window.
"What Chu Xisheng? You have found the wrong person." It was a one-eyed young man wearing an eyepatch. He snorted and said in a cold tone: "The one who killed the magician was a bitch who was proficient in magic.
A mere inner disciple of Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall."
"Bitch? Woman?"
Li Daogui and the blood-clothed boy looked at each other, and they both saw a look of astonishment in each other's eyes.
"This is what I saw with my own eyes." The one-eyed young man's injuries were not serious. He also tore open his clothes and forcibly pulled out the barbed arrows without changing his expression.
"This woman is less than fifteen years old, but her cultivation has reached the seventh level. She is also a master of both martial arts and martial arts, and is especially good at escaping and changing. I chased her for a while, but I couldn't do anything about her. The situation was already very bad at that time, and I
I was worried that I would be trapped in a tight siege, so I didn’t pursue it.”
Li Daogui couldn't help but frowned: "A master of martial arts and martial arts? You will draw the face of this woman later, and I will find someone to find out the identity of this woman. This woman's hands are stained with my blood and the wind has stolen twenty-seven lives. I will not break them.
There are thousands of corpses, but it’s hard to eliminate my hatred. As for that Chu Xisheng——"
He expressionlessly used a dagger to pick out several silver needles in his arm: "I, the Blood Wind Pirate, have always kept my word. Since I said I would take his life within ten months, I will never wait until ten months."
Months later.
The problem is that there are now large-scale searches inside and outside Xiushui County. We can no longer stay here for a long time. A small ninth-grade servant is not worth the risk for you and me. Bloody clothes, when you go to the black market in Jiangbei the day after tomorrow, take the two hundred taels of magic by the way.
Silver is offering a reward over there."
After hearing this, the blood-clothed young man looked troubled: "Sword Master, we have no money."
Li Daogui was surprised when he heard this: "How come there is no money? We just robbed a merchant ship half a month ago."
The blood-clothed young man smiled bitterly and took out a crumpled 'Explosive Flame Talisman': "Sword Master, you said you want to make the scene bigger this time. The more Explosive Flame Talisman, the better. It's best to blow up their library to the sky.
.”
Li Daogui's face couldn't help but be uncertain: "Then eighty taels! Don't tell me, we don't even have eighty taels?"
Eighty taels of magic silver is the minimum reward amount offered by Jiangbei's black market.
The boy in blood-clothed clothes could only take out a money bag from his sleeve and looked back at Li Daogui with innocent eyes.
Li Daogui glanced at the money bag and estimated that there might be less than ten taels of silver in it.
At this time, there happened to be a breeze blowing through the window, making a whistling sound.
Li Daogui felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit sad.
He sighed softly: "Since we don't have enough money, let's postpone it for now."
Good luck to this bastard!
※※※※
Chu Xisheng didn't know that he had escaped by chance.
As he was walking back to the junk yard, he found that the martial arts points on the illusory screen were inexplicably missing, falling from 27 back to 26.
Chu Xisheng was stunned for a while, thinking that someone was sitting at home and trouble came from the sky.
After being stunned, Chu Xisheng fell into deep thought again.
He was thinking about the mechanism for the growth and decline of martial arts points? Will it fall to a negative number? What will happen if it falls to a negative number?
Since martial arts points can be reduced, will reputation be reduced?
Chu Xisheng opened the martial arts treasure house again, hoping to use them up as soon as possible before the martial arts points continued to fall.
But he looked through it and found that among the remaining eleven colored icons, there was nothing he particularly wanted.
Chu Xisheng turned his attention to his Yuan Gong column again.
There was an extra piece of information in his mind.
——You have mastered the breakthrough method of the second level of Yangyuan Gong. Do you want to use fifteen martial arts points instead of secret medicine to improve the level of Yangyuan Gong?
Chu Xisheng rejected it without hesitation.
At most, he can practice for five or six days and spend money on a dose of secret medicine before he can achieve a breakthrough. Using martial arts points to improve Yuan Gong is not cost-effective.
Chu Xisheng weighed it for a while and decided to wait.
The rule of the martial arts treasure house is to refresh it once every natural month. It can also be refreshed for a fee with one martial arts point.
Two days later, it was the first day of August, the day when the treasure house products were refreshed.
Chu Xisheng looked forward to this time when the treasure house was refreshed and something he could use would appear.
At this time, he had reached the door of the utility yard.
When Chu Xisheng pushed the door open, she saw a dark figure standing in the courtyard.
He immediately looked stern and held down his hundred-refined light steel sword with one hand: "Who is it?"
Could this be a fish that slipped through the net of the Blood Wind Pirates? Are they here to seek revenge on him?
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
This is a powerful and cold voice.
As a fire broke out, a middle-aged man wearing a Jinyiwei Qianhu costume, with green hair, green beard and green eyebrows, and a rather strange face appeared in front of Chu Xisheng.
That is Qianhu Caoxuan of Jinyiwei Xiushui Qianhu Office.
He stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at Chu Xisheng with a smile.
Chu Xisheng glanced at Cao Xuan in surprise, then clasped his fists expressionlessly: "The common people have met Lord Qianhu."
This person was not open about his affairs, and Chu Xisheng did not want to deal with him.
He also secretly wondered why Cao Xuan, a well-dressed man from a thousand households, came here late at night? And he came alone.
"Brother Chu, there is no need to be polite. Cao has some things that are inconvenient to say in public, so I have taken the liberty of visiting late at night. I should ask Brother Chu for your forgiveness."
Cao Xuan looked at Chu Xisheng with a smile, and was not annoyed at all by Chu Xisheng's tone: "Brother Chu, shouldn't he invite me into the room for a chat? Why don't you refuse to give Cao a cup of tea?"
Chu Xisheng frowned at first, then relaxed.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, he will take advantage of it as soon as he sees it.
